Built like a tank
Gas ram power plant

Accurate
Likes a variety of pellets

Barrel should be screw cut at the factory
Would prove to be a bit too heavy for some


General Comments

I love Weirauch Air Rifles, i have owned many and not one of them was a bad rifle.

I wanted a Gas Ram power plant but i didnt want a Theoben as A) they are overpriced and B) the triggers are not a patch on the Rekord trigger unit used by Weirauch in thier models (i appreciate that the trigger unit on the HW90 was made specifically to cater for the marriage of the Theoben Gas ram and the HW90K build quality, but it is still better then the trigger unit on a theoben.
Bought mine second hand for £200.00 in .22 calibre, tested over the chrono at 11.65 ft lbs conisistently
Fitted a Bushnell 3-9 x 40 Mil Dot and was soon putting in half inch groups at 35 yards consistently.
The rifle is accurate, quite easy to cock, easy to load, quick lock up time, although quite heavy you get used to the weight and it can actually aid accuracy if you hold it right.
I must have put around 2,000 pellets throught mine and it has not missed a beat.
It has accounted for Rats, Wood Pigeon, Rabbits, Magpies, Crows, Grey Squirrel and a couple of pheasants, all at ranges between 20 and 40 yards and all clean kills i think that says it all.
I have 4 different pre charged rifles, Air Arms S200, Air Arms S410 TDR, RWS, Weirauch HW100 and they are all fantastic, but being able to grab a rifle and a tin of pellets and go is very appealing as is the rewarding soft "Thwump" noise and feel you get when you fire the HW90K.
A fantastic all rounder, you really cant go wrong and i would highly recommend this gun to anyone, if you had enough pellets and you could only take one rifle with you onto a desert island then the HW90 would be the one
